About This Book
This guide describes the two versions of the SGI 10-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter II, shows
you how to connect the adapter to an Ethernet network, and explains how to operate the
adapter.
You can use the adapter to replace the built-in Ethernet network adapter in your system
or use it in addition to your current adapter.
This guide is written for users of the SGI 10-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter II. It is assumed
that you have general knowledge of Ethernet networks and the system in which the
adapter is installed.
Warning: Never look into the end of a fiber optic cable to confirm that light is being
emitted (or for any other reason). Most fiber optic laser wavelengths (1300 nm and
1550 nm) are invisible to the eye and cause permanent eye damage. Shorter
wavelength lasers (for example, 780 nm) are visible and can cause significant eye
damage. Use only an optical power meter to verify light output.
Warning: Never look into the end of a fiber optic cable on a powered device with
any type of magnifying device, such as a microscope, eye loupe, or magnifying glass.
Such activity causes cause a permanent burn on the retina of the eye. Optical signal
cannot be determined by looking into the fiber end.
